Since I have been shooting with glasses for last 1+ years, I have been anchoring index finger on top eye tooth (split finger- vertical bow)for 28" draw,before the string hit my glasses.now and then tended to creep a little. Yesterday moved my anchor down and back to index finger on tooth one back from wisdom tooth on lower jaw.(no tooth just a hole "HANDY".I am getting a consistent anchor and increased my draw length to 29" without hitting my glasses.Feels comfortable, acuracy seems good (5 arrows - 5"by 4"group at 20m-2nd group at 20m.Now the proplem, just got new arrows tuned nicelly,HOW WILL THE EXTRA DRAW LENGTH affect my arrows .I know that i have to find out for myself, BUT I cut my finger yesterday arvo (middle finger right on the crease GREAT!!!) and today it's infected. Might be a few days before I can try to retune my arrows. ANY IDEAS WHAT TO EXPECT??? THANKS.   :dunno:

They may be a little weak but if you have an inch or half inch of shaft to trim you can take care of that pretty easily.

Congrats on the discovery. Sounds like great shooting ahead.

Thanks Charlie, I am stoked about the increased draw length, and the new solid anchor.I am glad the arrows will be weak, as I have a little extra length to play with, and can keep the same points and broadheads Thanks Dan

I went to different style bow and grip.I also droped my bow weight by 4 or 5 pounds.My draw length has gone from 28" to 29".I asked Bob Morrison about it. He said a inch of draw length is just about as good a ten pounds of draw weight.Plus i'm shooting much better.
